Hidden problems of the blogging

Hi there.

It's rather short message about a potential problem you might face as well.

Recently, I've been told that few of my blogs are having incorrect links to other resources. Being very careful about posting any materials, I was quite surprised and went to http://weblogs.java.net/blog/cos/ to check it out.

In a short time I realized that a couple of the articles were typed using StarOffce's document writer and were saved in OpenDocument Test (ODT) format. As the result, all quotas - " - were replaced by fancy typographical quota symbols. When they became a part of an URL they were encoded into something like
%E2%80%9C
for left " and
%E2%80%9D
for the right one

That is well know fact, but is a good illustration of what kind of weird bugs you might discover sometimes during your quality cycles.

Cheers,
Cos
